The theme of the book is trust. There was a lot of distrust in the book and learning how to find people you can or can't trust.

The setting takes place in the current time period we live in. It takes place in Washington D.C.. It is important because if it was someone from another state watching it all on live tv it would not be as interesting as the way it is now.

9/10 secrets kept from the public. I made my scale like this because there are multiple secrets trying to be kept in this. There is a lot of secrecy in the political world and in the White House.

This book is in the third person point of view of Beecher White, the main character. The narrator recalls to his past about Clementine and his childhood bully. "Within seconds, the tribe was screaming, roaring- Pag! Pag! Pag!- chanting along with the impact of each punch. There was a pop from Beecher's nose" (Meltzer 19). The book shows  only Beecher's inner thoughts.

"'One of his Plumbers who works in our building. That's the key Beecher. Whoever did this to Orlando...to be able to hide the book in that chair...to have access to the SCIF...it has to be someone on staff, or at least, someone with access to that room.'" (Meltzer 310).
I believe this is the most impotant piece of dialogue because it shows that Beecher and Clementine are realzing that there is a traitor in the White House and they are now closer to finding out who it is by using only people who have access to the archives.

My favorite character is Beecher White. He is very straightforward with the rules and he does not like variety. He is tall and lanky.
